Untitled is a 1992 ink by Julian Schnabel, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is messy and bold. Thick black brushstrokes swirl around a big brown circle in the middle, like something torn or splattered. Inside that circle is a smaller, fuzzy picture of a landscape with trees and a building. The background is a mix of gray, white, and splashes of red, blue, and pink—like paint was thrown on the canvas. The messy style makes it feel raw and energetic. The smaller picture inside the circle looks like it was painted in a different, softer way, almost hidden by the chaos around it. If you like this wild style, look up impasto.
